Mike Rohrbach from Portland, Oregon

The first time Mike drove up from Portland to see me several years ago, it has been

a pleasure to see Mike's work.  When he showed me his High Track Dozer, and his

Excavator I had to examine, and touch them to see if they were actually made of wood.

The following pictures do not give them enough credit.  The actual models are

Fantastic!!  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.  Thanks Mike!!!
